Hi Martin,
I just tested the umount/eject/run/mount procedure without a restart in between
- and the same happens:
*umount LTO-5HH
Automatically selected Catalog: Fritzie18-Cat
Using Catalog "Fritzie18-Cat"
3002 Device ""LTO-5" (/dev/nst0)" unmounted.
*run
A job name must be specified.
The defined Job resources are:
1: Bacula Catalog
2: Bacula Catalog Restore
3: Gruppen-LW ohne Chris LTO-5
4: ...
Select Job resource (1-10): 1
Run Backup job
JobName: Bacula Catalog
Level: Full
Client: fritzie15-fd
FileSet: Catalog
Pool: LTO-5HH-Pool (From Job resource)
Storage: LTO-5HH (From Job resource)
When: 2020-05-08 09:18:01
Priority: 11
OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes
Job queued. JobId=12628
*mount LTO-5HH
3001 Mounted Volume: LTO-5-Tape0017
3001 Device ""LTO-5" (/dev/nst0)" is mounted with Volume "LTO-5-Tape0017"
08-Mai 09:18 fritzie15-dir JobId 12628: shell command: run BeforeJob
"/etc/bacula/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula SockenC7"
08-Mai 09:18 fritzie15-dir JobId 12628: Start Backup JobId 12628,
Job=Bacula_Catalog.2020-05-08_09.18.07_51
08-Mai 09:19 fritzie15-dir JobId 12628: Using Device "LTO-5" to write.
08-Mai 09:19 fritzie15-sd JobId 12628: Volume "LTO-5-Tape0017" previously
written, moving to end of data.
08-Mai 09:19 fritzie15-sd JobId 12628: Error: Unable to position to end of data
on Tape device "LTO-5" (/dev/nst0): ERR=tape_dev.c:363 ioctl MTIOCGET error on
"LTO-5" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Erfolg.
08-Mai 09:19 fritzie15-sd JobId 12628: Marking Volume "LTO-5-Tape0017" in Error
in Catalog
So it seems not to be connected to a reset of the device.
Thank you very much for your kind assistance,
Christian

Dear Martin,
I am sorry for answering so late, but due to the COVID-19/Sars-CoV2 situation I
had a lot of other issues to solve.
During the restart no backup was running - just the tape was positioned in the
middle of the tape.
I will test the unmounr/eject/mount procedure without a reboot today and report
the results.
Best,
Christian

Did the restart happen in the middle of a backup?
Does the backup error occur after you unmount the tape from bconole, eject it
and then insert and mount it again, without rebooting?
